MnROAD

MnROAD is a pavement test track made up of various research materials and pavements owned and operated by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, working with its partners. Located near Albertville, Minnesota, MnROAD works in conjunction with MnDOT's Materials Lab. It finds ways to make roads last longer, perform better, cost less to build and maintain, be built faster and have minimal impact on the environment.

The MnROAD test track was initially constructed between 1991-1993 and is one of the most sophisticated, independently operated pavement test facilities of its type in the world.

MnROAD has over 50 unique test sections on the following two roadway segments:

3.5 mile (I-94) Mainline

3.5 mile (I-94) Original Westbound

2.5 mile Low Volume Road

MnROAD collects detailed pavement performance data along with thousands of pavement sensors located in each test section. For more information on MnROAD click on the topics listed:
